Near the settlement harbour a baroque summer house Šimić-Ivanišević was built in the year 1760. The sarcophagi found on the cemetery also testify of the settlements existence in Roman times, and the name Igrane was first mentioned in the year 1446. From sport contents you can take your pick between water sports, diving schools, mini golf, ping pong and other. The tennis courts are located in the auto camp Dole (4km away from Igrane).
